Charlie Chaplin Oh For The Life Of A Sardine
When I was three my nurse told me About reincarnation And ever since I've been convinced, Thrilled with anticipation That when I leave this earth It makes my heart feel warm To know that I'll return In some other form. But I don't want to be a tree Sticking in the ground -- I'd sooner be a flea. I don't want to be a flower Waiting by the hour Hoping for pollens to alight on me. So when I cease to be I want to go back, I want to go back, I want to go back to the sea! Oh for the life of a sardine! That is the life for me! Cavorting and spawning every morning Under the deep blue sea. To have no fear for storm nor gale. Oh to chase the tail of a whale! Oh for the life of a sardine! That is the life for me!
